If anyone is interested, here is a link that has approx 3 hours of streaming video (Real and Quick Time) of PBS's The Elegant Universe. It begins with Newton and ends up with Witman's unifying of the 5 string theories. Very well done IMO...Good educational piece for the sciences.
TOPICS: Astronomy; Science
KEYWORDS: 11dimensions; bigbang; branes; creation; mtheory; science; strings; unifyingtheory; universe; wormholes
....

In case any of you all might be interested..Very intetrested in yuor insights if you decide to watch any of the streams.

...I saw both parts of "The Elegant Universe" when it aired on PBS...But I thought
Michio Kaku's books gave a more complete and structured explanation of this issue...I recommend:
Beyond Einstein - An easy to read primer on string theory and the possible unification of seemingly contradictory theories such as quantum mechanics and relativity.
Hyperspace - An interesting explanation on some of the more "bizarre" implications of string theory, relativity and quantum mechanics including additional spatial dimensions (more than 3) and parallel universes.
Visions - This book covers some of the more practical future applications (such as space travel, artificial intelligence and genetic engineering) that may arise out of current advances in physics, computer technology and biology.

THANKS, If you and unix want to ping the UFO list, it's OK with me.
I'm sore, tired and lazy at the moment.

ha! ha! What a great gif ! ... I may come back here and check these out. I remember when Carl Sagan did the Cosmos series and it originally ran. My brother and I shared an apartment together in 1980 and after we'd get home from work, we'd watch that. It was great. This kind of stuff has always been interesting to me.

Thanks for the ping. I recorded the three episodes on TiVo. Do you get the concept of gravity falling through other dimensions? Is this a form of time travel? ( Assuming different dimensions exist in overlapping, but not identical, times)
